WHEN IT FEELS LIKE THE END OF THE WORLD IS NEAR
As Peter began to write his epistles, those early believers in Asia Minor must have sometimes felt that the end had come, the Antichrist was here, and they were in the Tribulation. Peter, in his first epistle, comforted them about fiery trials, and now, he would assure them that it would only get worse until everything was finally consumed, and all things were made new.
So, Peter lays it out for those saints in the first century, and for all of us since. Inspired by God who jealously wants all our attention, all of our affections, and cravings. How do we serve Him to the end? Peter lists five choices that we must choose to live by daily, his five lessons, and as we will note, each revolves around a warning about materialism:
• Materialism Blurs our Purpose in Life as Disciples: Live Redemptively (v.1-9)
• Materialism Clouds our Minds with the Idolatry of Coveting: Keep Alert (v. 10-11)
• Materialism Clutters Our Lives with Discontent: Build Fireproof (v. 12-13)
• Materialism Blinds Our Eyes with Earthly Treasures: Look Up (v. 14-17)
• Materialism Corrodes Our Wills by Serving Two Masters: Obey Jesus v.18
